A new arrival on Ashburton grove is the recently released Rapido trains Peak class 44-44007.

Nah-another one for original as delivered livery I’m told….

The 18:20 Dublin Connolly-Sligo Mk2D set arrives at Tara Jctn hauled by 132+126.

The class 40 assists with the shunting at the factory sidings while the new class 59 gets to grips with a heavy MGR train.

That was a former grand Hibernian sleeper coach back when it operated here in Ireland.

Without seeing it-it’s 723.

Had the same issues when it operated here too….

The classic Supertrain Mk2Ds powered by 001.

Catering trolley added to the isles of both Cravens sets and the Mk2D set

The 37 and 08 share the shunting and making up of freight trains from the factory sidings. Those BELL containers end up anywhere……

177+129 work a Limerick cement factory-Tullamore bogie bulk train-watch as they go through the process of running around the train at Tara junction. 220 works a short Mk2 a/b set through the station forming a Dublin Heuston-Athlone service, 160 hauling a single BR GSV and a TPO forms a Dublin Connolly-Cork service
